Wedding Library

My venue provided an assistant for our wedding, and she really handled most of everything - I'm still not sure exactly what she did to help that our venue assistant couldn't have done. She was unclear during the ceremony run-though, causing confusion about where everyone was meant to sit - her timing was completely off for a big surprise reveal I had for my husband, and she was generally unhelpful leading up to the wedding as well (other than assisting in getting materials to the venue for me). She also provided zero assistance in getting our beautiful wedding published as she had promised. She was happy to ask for a generous extra gratuity to her team at the end of our wedding night, even though I was left in charge of frantically tipping everyone else during the closing of my wedding (should not have been my job). Claudia has been doing this a long time and if you are someone who wants to just hand over your entire wedding to be taken care of, I'm sure she is competent enough, but if you are super hands-on like I was, I would just save your money.

made it work, and helped create a beautiful event for us! We only wish we had hired her earlier and made things so much easier for us from the beginning. Since I am an artist/illustrator, I did all of the artwork for my own wedding, and Claudia was not only incredibly supportive but wanted to find as many ways to showcase my art and creativity as possible! She came up with fun ideas to display table numbers, escort cards, and even put together the programs herself, tying ribbons on 150 programs! We were so happy with how beautifully the event turned out, and how we were able to personalize it with so many fun details, thanks to Claudia's ideas and hard work. She was so much fun to work with, and has a fun and bubbly personality. Wedding planning was very overwhelming and stressful to us at the beginning, and when Claudia came onboard we were struggling with our vision and also with some vendors. Claudia took the reins and helped straighten things out, and helped us visualize many of the ideas we had, and made sure that they were all made possible, and that they all worked together. She also made it fun for us - finally! - and we really enjoyed working on the project together and actually getting excited about it. Although I am sad that our time together as bride/planner has come to an end, I am hopeful that we will have a chance to together in the future professionally, when I design the art for another wedding! She is amazing!

ning but also helped bring our somewhat complicated vision to life beautifully. We had hired her initially because we were very late with securing some vendors and were overwhelmed by the process of wedding planning. Claudia helped us manage all aspects of the wedding and helped us stick to a timeline/schedule. Although we had many ideas for fun ways to personalize our wedding, Claudia helped us streamline these ideas and helped make them happen, tying them all together in one gorgeous event. Claudia was always very professional and remained in constant communication while we were working together. We could always rely on her to smooth out wrinkles if there were any issues. On top of her professional attitude, she is warm, caring, fun, and easy to talk to and work with. She made what was initially a very stressful thing for us an enjoyable process, and it was also very helpful that she knew our venue extremely well, having worked many events there in the past and having a good relationship with the team at Blue Hill. Overall, Claudia was a wonderful person to work with. She had many fun and cute ideas that I think really made our event different and more personal. She coordinated with all of our vendors and made sure that they were on schedule. And when there were complications, she helped us figure them out. We were so happy with how the wedding turned out. We couldn't have done it without her help in putting it all together in the end. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the future! Beyond wedding planning, she is a warm and friendly person and we look forward to continuing our relationship with her.

every detail...ring bearer's outfits, wedding programs, the most gorgeous flowers and cake I've ever seen, fantastic music, carefully curated menus, and she even found us an amazing officiant who helped us make a ceremony that was just what we wanted. She thinks of everything and has so many years of experience and connections with premier vendors. Most importantly for me, the day of the event, she and her staff are there managing all the details, so you don't have to. Any future party I plan, I want Claudia and her team at the helm!

e handled every single detail with her calm experience and professionalism. She asked us a million questions to make sure that she understood what we wanted and then executed perfectly. Then she goes over and above with details that you didn't know you wanted to make the event beautiful and perfect. Check out the Wedding Library Instagram feed to see the perfection that she achieves. She also leverages great connections with the best event suppliers and sponsors to get you the best deals on services. Claudia manages all of this with a flair and a sense of fun that makes her a joy to be around. One of my favorite wedding photos was of Claudia joking around with my 6 year old son. I could not possibly recommend Claudia and the Wedding Library more highly. Thank you Claudia!!!

CH time. No one that I have ever worked with, in any capacity or context, is as talented, unique, sophisticated, and exceptional as Claudia is. After a decade of working with Claudia on various parties, galas, and events, I can now relax and close my eyes knowing that each of my events will leave my guests speechless - all thanks to Claudia!

utions are many--she creates a vision around a new, engaging theme and then specifies and organizes the many details that make the event special and memorable. She is a master at delivering on time and calmly and adeptly handling the unexpected, last minute changes and that inevitably arise. Claudia is a paragon of good taste, chic and professionalism. She is simply a joy to work with.

nd the Amsale bridesmaid dresses were amazing too! Like I said, the Wedding Library does it all :) Most importantly, Claudia's attention to detail and appreciation for wedding etiquette made our entire wedding and planning process run so smoothly. She's honest, highly responsive, and much more creative than I could ever be. She asks all the right questions to get you thinking about everything that you might want at your wedding. I was especially appreciative of Claudia when we couldn't be there to view certain details and she made sure to take photos and videos of everything to make sure we were happy and still part of the process. Ultimately, all of her hard work and assistance helped us create a beautiful and timeless wedding that we, and I'm sure our guests, will never forget.

to keep asking when I’d receive it and then only got it 3 weeks before the wedding even though it was ordered many months in advanced. Which made me scramble to get it tailored. Since you can get the dresses from this place at several retailers I’d suggest using someone else!

went in thinking either Alfred Sung or Dessy, and when we left, I had decided on the Amsale gowns.) And, they are very responsive and helpful over email too, when I had questions. Definitely get yourselves to The Wedding Library for your bridesmaid needs!

working with them! As soon as I choose a color I will be ordering my dresses with them. I liked the intimate setting of the showroom. It was great to know their focus was completely on me.

ead of apologizing for the confusion, they had the nerve to claim that I never had an appointment because it was not logged in to their system. And instead of offering to accommodate myself and my bridesmaids, they blamed us for their mistake and shooed us away. After I expressed my disappointment in their unprofessional behavior, they literally giggled as I walked away. Naturally the girl I spoke to over the phone was not going to own up to her mistake. This place is run by unprofessional twenty-something girls who apparently cannot be trusted to keep appointments straight, let alone coordinate bridesmaid orders or plan a wedding.

salon all to yourself during your appointment time. Would definitely recommend!

s in the city). The girls were nice and helpful and double-checked with me before placing any of the orders. My only complaint is that two of the dresses were definitely a bit big, requiring alterations, which made me think the measurements were a bit off. But overall it was a good experience.

Ashley & Kiera about the style name of the dress and yet they still messed it up. Word to wise STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE !!!!

hey sent multiple color swatches for the new season colors that were not yet in stock. The dresses arrived when promised and they were nicely packaged and labelled. I'd highly recommend the Wedding Library for any bride looking for quality dresses and excellent service!

he store and dresses were dirty. I called and emailed multiple times to see if I could exchange or re-order the dress in my correct size and it took a month to get an answer. I'm in my 20s living in NYC and will be telling everyone I know to shop elsewhere. I plan on contacting Amsale (which has gorgeous dresses) to warn them of the horrible service The Wedding Library is doing to their gowns. A $300 gown that now requires nearly $200 in alterations! Don't bring your bridesmaids here!

ements, and write everything down for you.

, save the dates and programs exactly as we imagined them. And then we got all 12 of my bridesmaids dresses there. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgable, I'm sending all of my girlfriends there!

ake a pass on The Wedding Library.
